Lord Lyall and
Dale Gavitt teach
Polo 101
POLO 101
Held before every season, newcomers can dive into
the sport via Polo 101.
" The informational class lasts approximately one
hour, led by one of our polo players, Lord Lyall, and our
announcer Dale Gavitt, " Hilding said. " It's an intro to
the rules of the game, as well as its strategy and players.
They go through everything from when polo started to
what it's like now and who's on the horses now. Our
announcer can actually identify the horses because
he's also an equine dentist. It's really cool and so neat to
watch. After the hour of information, participants get
to watch a practice match - pretty exciting! "
Terms to Know
BUMP: When a player attempts to thwart
another player's shot by riding into him or her.
The angle of collision must be no more than
45 degrees. The faster the horse travels, the smaller
the angle must be.
KNOCK-IN: If a team hits the ball across an
opponent's backline in an offensive drive, the
defending team resumes the game with a free hit
from their backline.
HOOKING: When a player spoils another's shot
by putting his mallet in the path of the striking
player's mallet.
OUT OF BOUNDS: The ball is considered
out of bounds when it crosses the sideline or goes
over the sideboards.
LINE OF THE BALL: When a player hits the
ball, an imaginary line is established in the direction
the ball is traveling. This line serves a vital purpose,
as it acts as a dividing line on a highway and determines
the right of way for players, keeping the game
as safe as possible. Players cannot cross in front of
the rider who is making a play, once the line is established.
Players can, however, steal the right of way.
RIDE-OFF: When two riders attempt to push
each other off the line of the ball to prevent the
other from striking.
